Heart's Longing

Father Andy Davy, MIC, pastor of St. Mary Parish in Plano, Illinois, also writes poetry. Here, we share some of his work and his commentaries on that work in the latest installment of a series.

 

The Ache

In every ache of the human heart

We wait for the One

Who promised from the start

But lost to the numb

That comes from pain,

We can’t see clearly—

There’s too much rain!

 

Yet wait in the ache we must.

For courageous is he

Guadalupe
